JUCO LB Reeves signs

Pierce College (Calif.) linebacker Brandon Reeves signed his Official Letter of Intent Wednesday morning, becoming the first member of UTSA’s 2011 recruiting class.

“I already faxed it over,” he said. “It feels good, exciting. I can’t wait to get out there and help start this program.”

He’ll have two years of eligibility with UTSA, and is planning on enrolling in January. I’m going to cobble together a column on Reeves for the Friday edition, so keep an eye out.

Still waiting on word about Mt. San Jacinto College offensive lineman Anthony Moxley, who was identified yesterday as another likely signee. He and Bakersfield College offensive lineman David Born appear to be UTSA’s primary junior college targets at this point, with seven weeks remaining until national signing day.

Defensive tackle Frankly Anaya, a teammate of Reeves’ at Pierce, has also committed to UTSA, and said yesterday that he plans on signing in February.

One thing to keep in mind about junior college players — signings tend to trickle in, rather than happening in one fell swoop, as with high school players on signing day. So Moxley, Born and any other transfers the Roadrunners might target still have plenty of time to make their decisions.

Born’s coach said as much yesterday, and I’m anticipating it might be the same case with Moxley. The difference between the two — UTSA apparently got a strong vibe from Moxley, while Born is also mulling an offer from UTEP.
